Earlier this morning, Hawai`i Department of Transportation officials reported that water service at the Kahului Airport was interrupted for an unknown reason.

The HI DOT officials at the Kahului Airport called the Maui County Department of Water Supply and in turn, they dispatched crews to investigate the problem and to bring water service back online once the problem is found.

The Hawaii DOT reports the Kahului Airport is open and operating normally, just without running water at present time. NO flights have been cancelled or diverted per the Federal Aviation Administration.

At this time, crews are working to restore water service to the Kahului Airport.
